Visual Arts Journal Interview with Emma Coyle

In this interview with Visual Art Journal, Emma Coyle offers insight into her evolving abstract practice, discussing how process, intuition and structure shape her paintings. She reflects on the role of repetition, geometry and layered mark-making in building visual systems that sit between order and instability, inviting sustained looking rather than immediate resolution.

Coyle also speaks about the conceptual drivers behind her work, including perception, human cognition and the quiet tension between organic and constructed forms. Her paintings operate as meditative spaces, where colour, rhythm and restraint combine to create a sense of depth and psychological presence.

Represented by CMAA, Emma Coyle’s work forms part of a wider contemporary dialogue around abstraction and material intelligence. Selected works from the interview are available to view and acquire through CMAA’s Artsy gallery or by contacting CMAA directly at andrew@chrissymoore.art.
